i saw home base in the title , & was expecting to see a new B & Q store where a farm used to be :D all going on there nick , keep it up mate looks good

has to be a 135 as my all time great , really gutsy little tractor.

been ages since i looked at this topic & must admit still looks the same , brilliant detail throughout :)

yeah i know you are , i was just makeing a comparison

ah one like mine :) good to see another 600series especially a 699 :) just need to get hold of PDC for some decals to finish it nicely

looks quite big mark , are you sure the driver can see or does someone have to shout iceberg ahead :D :D well i thought it was fennel funny \

well simon ? any news ? mind you mate , there's quite a few worth looking at in farm trader mag, matter of fact i can buy a SG2 cabbed 2wd jd 2040s cheaper than a refurb'd 135 !

err.......................... yes she ought to be fine with that \ :D

well this all depends if a display is going mate , as to maybe moveing house , but if yer up round here bring a van , will ya , you'll be well fed & watered :D

it's about 45 mins for me & mark, last year mark (oldford) & i payed to do the toyfair then just walked on round to the tractor show & had a mosey round , didn't need to pay any extra

marvelous really , i had the complete T bar & drawbar carridge up to a couple of years ago, then without any possibility of doing up the t 20 i had , i e-bayed the lot , T20 n all,

http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6593.0 http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=12409.0 look through the custom conversions board mate, many members do conversions to most implements

a DB would be a very good shout JDM , very reliable , & quite economic to run as well , fantastic tractors heavily engineared, & built to last , get something like a DB case 990, 995, 996 , you'll be well chuffed , certainly a tractor that holds it's own amongst the other makes

we seem to be in the same boat JDM , there's a lot out there for ?2000 but if it's not what you want , then it's worthless . The prices of 135's are ridiculous, in the current farm trader i can buy an MF 968T for ?3,950, an MF699 for ?2,400. 135's & 35x's are anything around the ?2,500 - ?4,500 it's crazy. i'm looking for a half decent 100 series tractor & i know i'll be paying ?3,000 - ?4,000 easily . There's a few good looking 500/600 series masseys about , but i dont want anything with a cab like that, if something goes wrong , i cant afford to have the cab split from the tractor & the fact that unless it comes from the east the cabs are more likely to have been subject to dung & more liable to need serious repair work doing to them . just a case of hurry up & wait mate

here you go chap http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=650.0 & these members can also help http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=13619.0

does that leak as well do you mean a drawbar kev ? one that needs a pin in the holes to pull a trailer / implement ? or a ninehole drawbar ? a bar that has holes in it & goes from one lift arm to the other ? (always called them a ninehole drawbar ,havent a clue how many holes they actually have though ?)

strange really as major still turns tankers out in green & yellow

hmm , this question has come up before , & there was no real answer to it , most of my pics come from farms i know , & they know me , if when i'm delivering i know the farm has somethinng worth taking a pic of i always ask, same as out in the field always good to let them know who you are & what the interest is. i was working on a farm where we hired a team of dung spreaders & there were a few people taking pics & waving & smiling , couple of hours later the police turned up after a complaint of excessive mud on the road, then saw the pics in the local paper a few weeks later if you get to talking to the drivers or farmers you could get more than just a pic , few years back i took some of a maize crew , within 10 minites , i was on a 12 mile round trip in a fendt926, then rode around in the harvester for an hour or so my advice is take yer pics , if in any doubt ask, could make all the difference of taking a long shot from the road , or taking a close up in the field , the more upfront you are the less suspicious they become , after all nobody likes to see someone lurking with a camera

850, as in david brown 850 ? is it fitted with nitrous ?

also be a good idea to do the same to the 'spa ;)re' in the shed , that maybe the reason it's not on the tractor

yes , don't light a match :D :D

welcome tim , sit down & hold tight , & scream if you want to go faster :D you'll find plenty of scorces for you model purchases here , & if you cant find what you want then the scratchbuilders here may be able to help you out , some of their conversions , scratchbuilds are second to none

a lot of the detail has been removed because of the maket it's aimed at ,................... america. too many fiddly bit's & n bobs tend to fall off , & big big legal cases ensue , so thuis is probably why the pipes from tanker to injection were removed . the reason it has john deere on it is simple the deere name sells, unlike MF deere does see items like this as promotion, the more people are familliar with it , the more people will buy it , it really is that simple

from reading the info, it's very much the state's side equivilent to the duncan cabs we had here , as it does say , 'we can give you the factory fitted look'

maybe because they have lots of snow \
